Oh my!!! He's lovely JJ.

Such a scarce visitor to the Gallery this one... of the 5 images you have supplied 3 of them now!!

A wonderful picture it is too my friend. Many thanks lad.
 
Bright-eyed and fancy beak. I bet he could open a can of beans with that beak. He certainly is a great looking bird and most unusual but in a good way.
